Album Notes

This innovative album "String Music" features rock music performed only on violins and cellos. The sound is similar to Apocalyptica, with a romantic, jazz, and pastoral influence. Anna's Los Angeles String Quartet performs "String Music" frequently at Los Angeles venues. www.annastafford.com for details.

String Music has been featured on NPR, K-Mozart, Borders Bookstores, and Molly Malones.

BIO

Solo Artist, musician, composer, and producer, Anna Stafford's music adds a rich arena of new, uplifting string performance styles to the Los Angeles Entertainment Industry and abroad. From TV appearances and recording sessions, to her eloquent compositions, Anna adds an enduring, fiery and intuitive edge to the music industry scene.

Anna's latest album String Music blends a classical background with the vernacular of rock n' roll music. Inspired by her work with Vitamin Records String Tribute Albums (she produced four: Lacuna Coil, INXS, Deftones, Morrissey) Anna decided to write originals which were idiomatic to both the instrumentation and the style of rock n' roll.
